Cincinnati Reds - Pitcher

An undersize hurler, Johnny Cueto has developed at a startling speed. He began 2007 in rookie ball, but was in AAA by season’s end. Cueto began his big-league career with a bang in 2008, taking a perfect game in his first start into the sixth inning. He was the first Reds pitcher since 1900 to strike out 10 in his debut, but has struggled with his ERA and control.

Breakout season: After a 2008 of ups and downs, expect Johnny Cueto to break out in 2009, when he could be Cincy’s No. 2 starter behind ace Aaron Harang.
